Libra & Venus

Chapter 3

"Miss, Mr. Libra is asking? What department do you work in?" Venus, who had just snapped out of her reverie, immediately looked at the man next to her.

"I work in the office girls department, sir."

"Well, no wonder he's acting weird! Hiding behind the sofa." Venus, who heard the sarcastic remark, could only hold back her annoyance. If only that man...

If it wasn't the owner of the company, Kejora would have been thoroughly cursed.

"Jos, take him outside!" Libra waved her hand.

"Miss, come out!" said Jose.

"Excuse me, sir." With a relieved heart, Venus stepped out of the room.

"Wait a minute!"

The deep, firm voice made Venus turn her body back around.

"Did you just fart in this room?" Libra, who had just remembered the unpleasant smell she had smelled, now stared sharply at the woman.

"Farting? How could I dare fart in your room?" Venus lied. "Achoo... achoo." Venus sneezed very loudly.

"Then what was that sound?" Libra stared intently at the woman.

"That, earlier..." Venus grew more nervous.

"My phone rang earlier, sir. I set it to sound like a fart," replied Venus.

"Oh no, I lied again." Venus muttered, and her sneezing grew louder.

"Ma'am, are you sick?" Josemerasa felt sorry when he saw the woman sneezing.

"No, sir. I just... hacih... hacih." Venus could no longer hold back her sneezing.

"Jos, tell him to get out! I don't want him spreading his disease here," Libra said curtly. "And one more thing! If he dares to hide in this room again, I'll fire him on the spot!" Libra said very firmly.

"Miss." Jos looked at the young woman beside him, inviting her to leave the room.

"Sir, I promise I won't hide in your room anymore, and excuse me..." Venus immediately left the room. On one hand, she felt relieved that Mr. Libra believed her lie so easily, but on the other hand, Venus felt tormented by the consequences of her lie. If that incident had never happened to her, she would never have sneezed while lying.

"Venus..." Luna grabbed her friend's hand when she saw Venus leaving the room. "You're okay, right? You didn't get punished, did you?"

"I'm fine, and Mr. Libra didn't punish me... hacih... hacih." Venus walked toward the pantry.

"You must have been lying earlier?" Luna, who knew Kejora's condition, felt sorry for her friend.

Venus nodded her head and began to recount everything that had happened while she was hiding in Mr. Libra's room.

"You're crazy! How could you fart?" Luna stared at her friend in disbelief.

"It's over, what else can I do? I held it in, the first one was successful and only left a trace of its smell." Venus laughed as she remembered what had happened earlier. "But the second and third ones, I messed up." Venus laughed again.

"Oh my gosh, Venus..." Luna laughed too, unable to imagine the expression on Mr. Libra's cold and stiff face when he smelled Venus's fart. "It really stinks, huh?"

"Of course it smells, because I had jengkol rice for breakfast this morning." Venus laughed again.

"Haha..." Luna laughed too.

"Luckily, that mongrel never eats jengkol, so it's easy to fool." Venus was still laughing, interspersed with sneezes.

"You're so lucky! If it were anyone else in your position, they would have been fired," Luna exclaimed.

"If only luck were always in my life," Venus whispered.

Luna, realizing the direction of Venus's conversation, immediately rubbed her friend's hand. Venus knew very well what had happened in her life several years ago, an event that had caused her great suffering.

Venus's life changed completely. It was an event that left a deep impression on her friends, leaving them with profound trauma.
